All I could think about was the anonymous letter. Should I go ? I had no idea  if that letter was even meant for me. Maybe I should just stay home and watch movies or skype my best friend. I was so caught up in my dilemma when suddenly I heard a knock on my door.

"Yes," I said shrugging my pillow.

The door opened and I saw a caring Jenna. "Good Night sweety," she said.

"Good Night,"I said back as the door closed behind her.

I loved her and she was such a loving person. Even though we both were the only ones staying here , we somehow always found time to spend with eachother or atleast she made sure we did. Thinking about Jenna made me think how she would feel about me sneaking out . I could get into any kind of trouble and there might be no one to help  me. I threw my pillow on the floor in slight frustration and looked at the clock. It was half past 11, a little late than the time mentioned in the letter. I stood up from my bed and walked over to the  window and pushed the curtains wide apart and pondered over the letter as the cool night breeze hit my face. The moon was shining bright in the vast sky which reminded me of the disco ball at a party I once went to. I thought to myself as my eyes drifted to the ground and I saw .....Oliver !.

The exact same boy who had been invading my thoughts for the past few days. He stood there so flawlessly with the moonlight reflecting his best facial features. He raised his right hand at me and motioned me to follow him. I stood frozen for a second but somehow I managed to come back to my senses. I ran downstairs trying hard not to wake up Jenna and  reached for the front door handle but I stopped .... What was I doing ? I didn't care. I could say I felt something for this boy and I wanted to clear things up. I didn't even know his name for crying out loud! I turned the door knob feeling a litlle hesitant. As soon as he saw me , he turned away and started walking. I was behind his footsteps like a lost puppy. Trying to keep pace with him I started taking long steps. I could tell by the way he led me  that we were headed to  that huge mansion I came across earlier today. After I stumbled on my feet twice on the way , we were finally there. I was staring at that huge mansion which looked even more ghastly during the night. My eyes followed him trying to figure out why he wanted me here. He walked to the back of the mansion. Once again I followed him even though I felt a bit awkward.

"Hello !", he said. Now we were behind the mansion with him sitting in one of the two swings. 

"Hi", I said , confused. "Why did you bring me here?," I looked around feeling a sense of regret .

"Come here," he said motioning me to the swing next to him. A little smile played on his lips. Aside the fact that I was out in the night with a total stranger, he looked dashing. I went to the swing and took my seat. 

"So why am I here again?," I asked continuing my conversation.

"Because I told you to follow me and you did," he replied.

"I know that ! But why did you want me to follow you?," my voice was a little high.

"I just want to know more about you ," He looked at me. I knew I was supposed to say something but I couldn't because no boy had ever been this straight forward to me.

"Oh," I managed to say. "Great, but I really have to go now," I said standing up , a little sad that this had to end so soon.

"But can't you stay a little longer?," he asked. The way he looked at me tied my poor tummy up in knots. 

"But if my aunt ever found that I snuck out , I would be dead," 

"Alright , I'll take you back home," he offered.

"No its fine. I can find my way back home," I said rubbing my hands together feeling a little cold.

"No, " he said and started walking ahead of me before I could protest again. I followed him again as there was nothing else I could do.
